FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 740 Trainers are designed for everyday casual wear and light activities, including walking and light gym sessions. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic training.

Are the New Balance 740 Trainers waterproof?

No, due to their breathable mesh construction, these trainers are not waterproof. They offer minimal protection against rain or wet conditions. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or puddles to keep your feet dry and protect the materials.

How do I choose the correct size?

These trainers typically follow standard UK adult sizing. We recommend purchasing your usual shoe size. If you're unsure, measure your foot and compare it to a New Balance size chart, ensuring there's about a thumb's width of space at the toe.

Can I machine wash my New Balance 740 Trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers. Please follow the hand-cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section of this guide.

What type of socks should I wear with these trainers?

You can comfortably wear any athletic or casual socks with these trainers. The breathable mesh upper allows for good airflow, so light to medium-weight socks are generally suitable for everyday comfort.

How can I keep my trainers looking new for longer?

Regular cleaning, proper drying, and storing them away from direct sunlight are key. Using a protective spray designed for textile footwear can also help repel water and stains, maintaining their appearance over time.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern; looser lacing may provide more comfort, especially across the instep. Consider wearing thinner socks or checking your sock type.

Foot odor develops after wearing.

Allow trainers to air out in a well-ventilated area after each use. Remove insoles occasionally to air them separately. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers to absorb moisture and odors overnight.

Stains on the mesh upper are hard to remove.

For stubborn stains, create a paste with baking soda and a small amount of water. Apply it gently to the stain with a soft brush, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then gently brush off and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always spot test in an inconspicuous area first.

Squeaking sound when walking.

A common cause is friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or baking soda inside the shoe, then replace the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be due to a loose part in the sole, which may require professional repair.

Pros & Cons ### Pros - All-day comfort: Enhanced by Abzorb cushioning for superior impact absorption, reducing foot fatigue. - Excellent breathability: Mesh construction helps keep feet cool and dry, especially during warmer weather or active use. - Versatile style: The sporty, 2000s-inspired design in a neutral grey colour makes them easy to integrate into various casual wardrobes. - Lightweight feel: The combination of breathable mesh and polyester upper contributes to a light and comfortable wearing experience. - Unisex design: Broad appeal ensures they are a suitable choice for a diverse range of users. ### Cons - Material durability: While breathable, polyester may not offer the same long-term resilience or water resistance as natural leathers or more robust synthetic materials for heavy-duty use. - Specific aesthetic: The prominent 2000s retro vibe may not align with all personal style preferences. - Limited weather protection: Due to the breathable mesh, these trainers offer minimal protection against rain or cold weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Proper setup, understanding compatibility, and regular care will ensure you get the most out of your New Balance 740 Trainers. ### Setup - First Wear: Simply unlace the trainers, slide your foot in, and lace them up to achieve a comfortable, snug, but not overly tight fit. Ensure there's approximately a thumb's width between your longest toe and the end of the shoe for optimal comfort during movement. - Break-in Period: While often comfortable from the first wear, allow a day or two of light use for the trainers to fully conform to your foot shape and walking style. ### Compatibility - Age Group & Gender: These trainers are specifically designed for adults and feature a unisex design, making them a versatile choice for individuals of any gender. - Usage: The New Balance 740s are best suited for everyday casual wear, light walking, and low-impact activities. Their sporty aesthetic complements a wide range of casual and athleisure attire. ### Care - Cleaning the Mesh Upper: Gently brush off any loose dirt or debris with a soft-bristled brush (an old toothbrush works well). Mix a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) with cool water. Dip a clean cloth or sponge into the soapy water, wring it out well to remove excess moisture, and gently wipe the mesh material. Avoid saturating the fabric. - Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush or a damp cloth to thoroughly remove dirt, mud, and small stones from the rubber outsole and midsole. - Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage materials, cause shrinking, or lead to colour fading. Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers. - Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag, to protect them from dust and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. This helps maintain their shape and material integrity.
